Does anything related to money work on GOS? Bank apps, check deposits, credit card apps, nfc payments? Any other apps/features disabled by Google?
Seems like a huge sacrifice for perceived privacy improvement.
How is this significantly different from using vanilla Android without signing into any Google accounts?
Aren’t most questions like this are simply looking at what approach you try and not a solution? They’ve been at it for years so they can easily tell if you’re trying something that makes sense or something trivial even if they don’t have a solution or even if there isn’t one.
Show me a screenshot of what your display settings look like please.
I couldn’t even find a place to do it. Only config for display scaling applied or to all monitors. And it requires a restart of kde every time. So either large external screen became unusable or the small laptop screen.
I haven’t used Xorg in years. All my problems are in Wayland.
Great, now please fix per monitor scaling. 4k laptops are unusable when connected to large 4k screens. I need no scaling on large external screen and about 175% on laptop’s 16".
This post is sadder than some of the warnings we get the world is about to end.
This comment will get down voted to absolute zero but: Samsung has amazing hardware and one of the worst software you could possibly put on a mobile device. Probably worst experience I’ve ever had using a mobile device. My experience was with S10.
Google has fantastic software and absolute shit hardware. Terrible battery life. Phone constantly lags and overheats from normal use. Terrible reception and non stop Bluetooth problems. Currently suffering with p7pro.
Oneplus was a fantastic company that created a phone that combined top of the line hardware with decent software at a very reasonable cost. Unfortunately now enshittification took over. Phones are overpriced, support is nonexistent and resale/trade in value is near zero. My experience was with Op8pro. Probably second best phone I’ve ever owned.
Other manufacturers like Sony, Asus, Nothing and Motorola are really a niche market now. They seem happy targeting a very narrow range of market. I’ve tried several phones from each brand, but never kept one longer than a week.
I’m sticking with pixel at the moment because software is so good it’s actually able to make this steaming pile of shit hardware semi functional.
I used to work in the same industry. We transferred several PBs from West US to Australia using Aspera via thick AWS pipes. Awesome software.
Pipewire works well enough for sharing screen even though it isn’t well supported by shit software like Slack. Would this replace it?
I have a split keyboard, but it includes a num pad. To be fair I was mostly kidding. I realize there are as many opinions on the keyboard as there are people. I also write code occasionally for work, but I wouldn’t sacrifice num pad for space.
I understand, but I’d rather lose the space for mouse next to keyboard than the num pad and I don’t even work with spreadsheets.
Haha, I knew I can trigger one of you guys :-)
Jokes aside that’s an awesome keyboard, just not a useful one to 99% of users out there and I can honestly say I’m on the opposite end of customization spectrum. I have 2 aliases in my bashrc, but if I need to switch to a new computer I can be up and running in 15 minutes while the rest of the team needs 2 days. And even though I’ve had the same computer for the last 5 years, I don’t work noticeably slower than anyone with a ton of customization on their pc.
TKL? That’s your own fault for buying a defective keyboard that’s missing a whole section just because of aesthetics.
The only correct answer is num lock. Caps lock is sort of correct, but it’s a stupid key on anything that’s not a typewriter so I usually disable it so the only correct answer is num lock. No exceptions.
You mean num lock, right? Ctrl actually does something.
My phone translates anything on screen in more or less real time. If the post looks interesting I can read it no matter the language.
Maybe dumb question, but how is it even noticeable? I listen to music in the car and in $100 earphones and usually just ask phone’s assistant to play shit based on my mood. I honestly can’t even tell which service it chooses between Amazon Music, Apple Music or Spotify. What’s the difference exactly?
I read it and I think I understand why people are using it, but just to clarify your Google play example: you still can’t use it without being signed into Google account, right? Is your concern what the app does while it’s not running? Because it feels like they’ll still collect the same amount of info once your sign in to install the apps.
Do you you try to use F-droid for most things?
